Celebrating 10 Years of The Sowing

“The best debut novel I have read yet.”

“This book is full of adventure and powerful moments. One of those stories you can’t put down.”

“Well-conceived story that interweaves compelling characters, a unique setting, culture, plot progression, and pacing. It’s also written well and intelligently.” 

“It was awesome and I couldn’t put it down!”

This month, we are celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the publication of The Sowing, the book that and launched our young adult, sci-fi dystopian series The Seeds Trilogy and was ultimately optioned for a film by Big Picture Ranch. The quotes above are a few of my favorite Amazon reviews for The Sowing that show the enduring power of this story.

As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the publication of The Sowing, I wanted to look back on some of the moments that have made this journey so special. In so many ways, this has been the journey of a lifetime, and I’m so grateful to everyone who has made it possible by cheering us on and being supporters from the start.

The first time someone took a picture with our book and posted it on social media. My friend Camille purchased her copy and shared this image on Facebook. Circa 2013

In 2015, I went to a writer’s conference in New York City and met someone who had read our books and knew who I was. I felt like a celebrity!
I spotted this copy of The Sowing at a Barnes and Noble just above the internationally-renowned author Hilary Mantel. Circa 2016
